About
I am currently a 4th year Human Biology and Society student with a minor in Education Studies. I grew up in NorCal and was involved with Sports Medicine in high school. I also studied the design of substrates of aPKC (a protein commonly dysregulated in cancer) in order to create an effective pseudosubstrate inhibitor. Beginning in my first year of college, I joined the Cardiovascular Calcification Research Lab (CVCRL) and began researching the effects of Empagliflozin, a drug used to treat diabetes, on bone cells. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, dancing, and exploring new cafes in Santa Monica.
